overtaking roads in stoney point. almost six inches of rain in a matter of hours, enough water to fill creeks in nearby norman, and across the southwest tonight, millions continue to bake under extremely dangerous heat. no end in sight for firefighters in phoenix, where temperatures could soar to 115 degrees this week. departments doubling crew sizes to allow for breaks. >> these extreme temperatures, we just need more manpower. >> reporter: in a span of two weeks, heat-related emergency room visits nearly doubled in some southern states. our zohreen shah in southern california, where paramedics say they're bracing for a tough summer ahead. >> what's going on right now? >> a medical heat-related emergency right now. >> as we're speaking, there's a heat-related emergency? >> yes, for a dehydrated patient early in the day. >> reporter: and seconds later, another call for dizziness. >> this fire station just got a call about a heat-related injury. they are packed. they're ready to go. >> reporter: a recent report finding that the extreme heat
5:35 pm
costs the u.s. $1 billion in health care every year. >> exorbitant costs there for this extreme weather. rob joins us from the storm zone tonight, and, rob, this dangerous flash flooding is expected to last throughout the night? >> reporter: yeah, we've already seen five to eight inches of rainfall across putnam and orange county and the lower hudson valley, and that emergency is out for the next hour or so, because this thing is moving slowly. it's lit up. that will shrink, but the flood watch itself is not going anywhere for the next 12, maybe 24 hour, one to two inches an hour on top of what we've seen and in vermont, terrain, three to five inches of rainfall is a high risk for seeing flooding potentially dangerous, if not deadly flooding there. all right, let's talk heat. miami has the second highest heat index on record, 110, and looking for more in the way of excessive heat in watches and warnings
5:36 pm
from texas to phoenix. phoenix, you haven't seen below 100 for like four weeks now, and really there is no end in sight, so dangerous heat continues in the southwest and here in the east. it's a wet one for the next 24 hours. linsey. >> all right, rob, we know you'll monitor it all for us. thank you. next tonight, new details in that urgent manhunt for a murder suspect on the loose. michael burham escaped from a pennsylvania jail on thursday. police say he's armed, dangerous, and a self-taught survivalist with military experience. just a short time ago police say he may be receiving help. they've also found stockpiles of supplies or campsites they believe are associated with him. authorities are asking homeowners to check their security cameras. here's abc's alex presha. >> reporter: it's day three in the manhunt for escaped murder suspect, michael burham, and tonight, authorities say the survivalist is still on the run, believed to be armed and dangerous, and may be receiving help. >> we have found stockpiles of supplies or campsites that we believe are associated with michael burham. it supports what we've said all along, that he's prepared as a survivalist. >> reporter: law enforcement
5:37 pm
from the u.s. marshals to the national forest service focused on finding burham, the suspect in a homicide and rape case in new york, who escaped from the warren county jail where he was being held on arson and burglary charges. police, today, sharing new images of burham's tattoos. authorities now expanding their search past the area near the jail, but police say the 34-year-old is a "self-taught survivalist" with military experience, capable of living days in the woods. >> anyone in this situation becomes more desperate over time, and we plan to use that to our advantage. if he's out here in the woods, we'll continue to push hard. he's not going to be able to get a lot of rest. >> reporter: burham's escape thursday night played out like a hollywood drama. authorities say he climbed up on exercise equipment and shimmied over a fence with a rope made of bed sheets. police say he was last seen wearing a white striped jumpsuit, a denim jacket and croc shoes, but has likely changed clothes. earlier this year, burham was the target of another multistate manhunt after authorities say he attempted to avoid prosecution
5:38 pm
for charges, including rape. according to a criminal complaint, burham wrote a chilling note saying, "i am not sorry for what i did." linsey, in the last 20 minutes activity here has really picked up. we've seen truckloads of deputies peel out of this parking lot, and there's also a helicopter circling above. they are leaning on the public's assistance for tips offering a combined $9,500 reward for information leading to an arrest. linsey. >> the community on edge there, alex. thank you. there is also a separate manhunt for a california man also charged with murder. police say eric james abril fled from a medical facility near sacramento early sunday morning. he was arrested in april during a shootout with law enforcement. authorities did not provide details on his escape but are urging the public to exercise extreme caution. turning overseas now, president biden has just arrived in london ahead of that high-stakes nato summit. the president says ukraine is not ready to join the alliance. this as the controversy over his decision to provide ukraine with cluster munitions is growing.
5:39 pm
here's abc's foreign correspondent james longman in ukraine. >> reporter: tonight, president biden arriving in london ahead of that nato summit in lithuania after saying he does not currently support ukraine joining the alliance. >> i don't think it's ready for membership in nato. i don't think there's unanimity in nato about whether or not to bring ukraine into the nato family now at this moment in the middle of a war. >> reporter: and despite growing international criticism, the biden administration is tonight defending its controversial decision to provide ukraine with cluster munitions. >> we are trying to ramp up our production of the kind of artillery shells that they're using most, but that production rate is still not where we want it to be, so we're going to see these additional artillery shells that have cluster bomblets in them to help bridge the gap as we ramp up production. >> reporter: and ukraine says it needs that help now. its counteroffensive is grinding on in the east but moving slower
5:40 pm
than hoped. >> translator: all of us, we want to do it faster, because every day means new losses of ukrainians. >> reporter: but those cluster munitions banned in more than 120 countries scatter mid-flight, raining down small bombs across a wide area and cause indiscriminate damage. they can leave behind dangerous unexploded ordnance. lawmakers are divided on the move. >> cluster bombs should never be used. children can step on them. that's a line we should not cross. >> they would be a game-changer in the counteroffensive, and i'm really pleased the administration has finally agreed to do this. >> reporter: abc's martha raddatz pressing white house officials on their decision. >> why is the u.s. not banning them, period? >> we are very mindful of the concerns about civilian casualties and unexploded ordnance being picked up by civilians or children and being hurt, but these munitions do provide a useful battlefield capability. >> reporter: the uk, canada, and spain are among the u.s. allies
5:41 pm
to disagree with the cluster munition decision. no doubt a subject up for discussion at the upcoming nato summit. linsey. >> no doubt about that, james, thank you. turning now to the isis leader killed in a drone strike. that was in syria. the deadly attack was carried out on friday. u.s. officials say those same drones were harassed for about two hours by russian aircraft on the same day, the third such incident that week. here's abc's maryalice parks. >> reporter: tonight, the department of defense says a drone strike on friday near aleppo, syria, has killed known isis leader, usama al muhajir, who a defense department official said was riding a motorcycle at the time. the head of the u.s. central command writing, "this will disrupt and degrade isis' ability to plan and conduct terror attacks." the pentagon says the strike was conducted by mq-9 reaper drones, the very same drones that, earlier in the day, were harassed by russian planes, a new and growing problem in the region. for three straight days this
5:42 pm
week, russian planes flying dangerously close to u.s. unmanned aircraft over syria. the pentagon releasing these rare videos showing russian planes deploying parachute flares in the flight path of an american drone, forcing the drone over syria to engage in evasive maneuvers. the next day, a russian pilot seen here flying just above a u.s. drone and scattering the sky with more flares. the u.s. typically uses a deconfliction hotline to let the russians know when they'll be operating in this area of northwest syria, which makes this behavior so concerning since in theory the russians were given a heads-up that they would be there. linsey. >> maryalice, thank you. a u.s. marine is in custody after authorities say a missing 14-year-old girl was found in the barracks at camp pendleton. the girl's aunt says that her niece was raped on that base north of san diego. a marine spokesperson told

5:44 pm
9 millimeter handgun with an extended magazine at pedestrians, injuring four additional people. >> we don't know the motive. it seems that his acts were random. video shows that he's not targeting anybody. he's randomly shooting people. >> reporter: the queens shooting reminiscent of the deadly random shooting in philadelphia on july 3rd that killed five people, and more gun violence in cleveland, ohio. >> we just heard shots over here on west 25th. >> reporter: police say they're looking for the gunman, who aimlessly opened fire on a group of people in the city's downtown overnight, wounding nine of them. police still searching for a motive. >> we're not sure what happened. right now, we have no indication that there was anything taking place before this individual started shooting. >> reporter: and, linsey, here in new york, police saying that suspect was involved in a sixth shooting incident. no one was injured. tonight he is charged with murder, attempted murder and gun-related charges, linsey. >> morgan, thank you. now to a headline in college sports.

5:46 pm
room with the lights off. they'd have masks on, and it would be sexualized behavior towards the younger players. >> reporter: specific findings of the independent investigation were not released, but more than 50 coaches, staff, current, and former players were interviewed. the university stating the former players' claims "were largely supported by the evidence," and "participation in, or knowledge of the hazing activities was widespread across football players," but said there was no "evidence pointing to specific misconduct by any individual football player or coach." >> while they couldn't prove that fitzgerald or the staff were knowledgeable or encouraging the behavior, they should have at least been aware of it at some point and able to report it. >> reporter: fitzgerald saying he was not aware of the alleged incidents stating he was "very disappointed" about the allegations of hazing adding, "we hold our student athletes and our program to the highest standards. we will continue to work to exceed those standards moving forward." the northwestern football team
